THE Prohibitionists have bodily al
lied themselves with the liquor dealers in
this State in their opposition to the high
license bill. In so doing they can hardly
be accused of inconsistency, for they have
long opposed themselves to any practical
BILE method Of restriction upon the liquor
traffic and are in large measure rcspon-
sible for the difficulty that exists in secu-
ring such restriction. They have been in
virtual alliance, therefore, with the liquor
interest for q long time. But if they were
men of rational ideas and practical judg-
ment the arguments of their allies would
open their eyes to the effect of what they
are doing. which they have not seemed to
appreciate.-[N. Y. Times.

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. It is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever dis
covered for the speedy and effectual cure
of Coughs, Colds, and the severest Lung
Troubles. It acts on al entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions
given by Physicians, as it does not dry up
q cough and leave the disease still in the
system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affec-
ted and leaves them in a purely healthy
condition. A bottle kept in the house
for use when these diseases make their
appearance, will save doctors bills and a
long spell of serious illness. A trial will
convince you Of these facts. It is posi-
lively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price Is cents, large
bottles.

thus expresses itself:

1t is famous fact, recorded in that au-

of Charles O'Malley," wherein is related
the true account Of the battle of Water
loo, that, while the two armies were con-
fronting each other, the Emperor Napol-
con asked, i'll a tone of great anxiety, if
Mr. Michael Free had yet arrived, and on
Mr.. Free, replying in person, that he was
present, the great Emperor replied, "Then
let the battle begin" Our esteemed
friend of the Guardiun has announced his
presence on the battle field and General
Ficholls may now be expected to order
the skull cracking, eye gouging and hair
pulling to commence.-[States.
